      Religion, about proof or about morals/life style

      I am specifically talking about the 3 major religions of the world; Christianity, Judaism and Islam. I have religious beliefs so I can't be called an Atheist, but I am not any of these. I don't agree with them anyway. I noticed a lot of people try to prove whether something exists or not. Is religion really about proving what happened, or is it about morals. What should it be to someone? I think it is more about taking what you get out of it and living a certain lifestyle.

      Religion is not a moral code. I hate to say it, but many non-religious people are much more moral than a lot of Christians I know.

      It's really about our God, a relationship with him, and going to Heaven.

      Although morality is part of it, it is not the heart of Christianity and it's forms.
      John 3:16

      For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

      on the contrary, religion is a moral code despite whether or not it's religious followers actually follow it

      all three religions are stock full of moral codes that define the said religion. love and honor thy neighbor. don't murder. don't have anal sex..but also the moral code goes in much deeper, into how husbands and wives should be. how often you should pray, worship, WHOM you worship, ask for forgiveness to even what you should eat or drink. there's enough to drive you mad

      now having morality and having a moral code are two different things

      morality is your own sense of right and wrong, a moral code is what some ancient book tells you is right and wrong. that's the disconnect and where hypocrisy can live

      when does religion become about proof? when it lacks spirituality. any spiritual individual, regardless of religious background, intuitively knows there is no greater evidence than your own personal experience. because they have personal experience, they don't need outer proof

      those who are not spiritual need an outside confirmation of their belief. even if that confirmation is how many other people believe in what they believe

      Religion is a guidebook that allows you to short step spiritual evolution.
      You will get there eventually you have no choice.
